No, it should show up almost instantly (after the live status turns to "SUBSCRIBED TO WALLET" )What does the red boxes and the green boxes say? Are you sure the wallet.dat is correct? You might have loaded your new wallet.dat(without the coins in). Try running with:

Code:

--datadir=DATADIR

Replace DATADIR with the location of your OLD wallet that contains the coins.

If you're sure it's the correct wallet, try importing the keys one by one.The privatekeys are (bolded): "sec": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxjxFRxc4z8V6Vybhzckmycj9aSb4sify"

Copy them, and paste them in the Import private key in blockchain.info. Select "Sipa wallet import format", and try importing them one by one.

added a fw just raw addresses to the address book but nothing, as expected cause there was no private keyadded one with the private key, no money appeared still, so i trhought ;d fire up my local client to see if there was any transaction today and all of the coins wwere there

so, thanks to you both, i can see you both have addresses in youtr signatures so expect 2BTC from me presently. You really helped a n0b out today, i thought they were done for
